Tom Colontonio was born July 26 in New Jersey, US and is both an International producer and DJ.

He became a DJ in 1996 and a producer in 2005. His first public gig was at the legendary nightclub Studio 6 in Atlantic City. Colontonio is one of the most prominent DJs from the city of Philadelphia and won the prestigious award for "Trance dj of the year" (2005) in the Philadelphia City Paper, DJ Nights. He is responsible for releases on many world trance labels such as Armada Music, Vandit Records "The One", "Modern Day Madness", Discover Records, Spinnin' Records Doorn Records, Mondo and more. He was established in 2006 with the help of Irish Trance music producer John O'Callaghan Robert Stevenson (Activa), Sean Tyas and John Askew who all took interest in his early works. Colontonio's musical growth in the DJ world was rapid with the support of Artists such as Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk and Armin Van Buuren. He is responsible for remixing and collaborating with such artists as Paul Van Dyk, John O'Callaghan, Sean Tyas and Giuseppe Ottaviani.

By 2011 Colontonio had released and remixed over 50 tracks in the genres of Trance, Progressive Trance and House. In 2010 Colontonio suffered from thyroid cancer which led to the removal of the gland at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He has since made a full recovery. His musical travels have brought him to over 22 countries (as of 2011) including Argentina, Australia and more.

Tom Colontonio was signed to R1 Management in early 2013 to expand his reach in the American House music market. In late 2013 management shifted to BRJ Management, LTD, a management group in the North East.
